now i understand why Moonbyul cried watching her performance. Solar is really amazing!!!.Her dedication is beyond imagination. She did really well.

[@lacipota4565]

Yup, I realized it until now (I guess I’m late) :/

[@KT-bc3ru]

This gives me such Indian classical dance vibes loving it ..she is great

[@lynzel5551]

This is just a snippet of the whole play. MIND BLOWING! All praise to Solar's debut as a theater actress. She worked hard for this and it shows in her performance. This just makes me so proud of her. I hope we all get a chance to see this. PLEASE!!!

[@troublemaker7162]

Am i the only one who thinks she did that Natraj pose(Indian classical). By the way mamamoo never fails to amaze me with their talents... I love them so much. My first kpop girl group😍😍

[@mymusemamamoo]

Mata hari offered herself to bhagwan Shiv while dancing(her words). Hence the Natraj mudras. I've seen some pics of her with Natraj effigy, as well, similar to the stage set up.

[@saptaparnadas4089]

I also though it 😌😌😌😌

[@kimchimasissda3480]

yeah in 1:14 the background was Natraj

[@swanubal508]

and gyou guys are cool with these stage dancers dancing like that and our lord shiva (who is supposed to be bowed down and respected) in his dance form behind them??

[@mymusemamamoo]

@@swanubal508 Yes. They're actors playing a role . This is a Musical (theatre act) based on a real person called Mata Hari. History cannot be changed. Pls do research about her for insight. Edit- btw..do we worship Natraj shiv? I've only seen his worship in south. I remember my mother used to keep natrajan in our house, then some pandit told her to not keep it since tandav brings destruction. In North we don't worship Tandav Shiv. Also, daksh's curse is also the reason.

[@lay_ykbk]

I can see why she's been showered with compliments from everyone. She did great.

[@ELmayberry]

right.. Solar is amazing 😍

[@vallaryangela]

Its such a coincidence that matahari and solar have the same meaning and she play matahari perfectly 🤣

[@mymusemamamoo]

(Editing my mistakes). I thoroughly went through a lot of literary & media contents about Mata Hari, from Paulo Coelho to Maria Bhukhoninia, and the reviews of them from diff ppl. No, Mata Hari wasn't a badperson at all, she wasn't at fault. She didn't did it for attention or obsession (as I mentioned in my unedited comment out of my selective info.) Mata Hari was a woman who did everything to give a decent life to herself & her daughter,. Tried several jobs & finally forged a career in dancing & took it to heights of celebrity. Her story is just so tragic, she was used and manipulated again & again by men in the society and at the end executed by 12 men for crimes she never committed. Solar worked so hard to justify the character sketch of MATA HARI. MATA Hari acquainted dances from East Indian cultures. .. & I can tell you the mudras were so good! TRUST ME,every angle & position of even the fingers matter. She practiced it to perfection! She did justice to MATA HARI', She did justice to the Mudras, She did justice to the dance. As an Indian moomoo, I can't be more proud. 🇮🇳 🙏

[@scarletseidr]

Thank you for this, it made me curious about Mata Hari and I want to read her story, 🥺 Would reading Mata Hari by Paulo Coelho be enough to know about her? If you have other suggestions, I would love to know 💖

[@mymusemamamoo]

@@scarletseidr yes, Paulo Coelho's The Spy would be a good start but this would not be enough. The Spy is too short to be called a novel, imo. Also, I felt he was a tad bit manipulative with the story and tried to enforce his own idea of "independent woman" which didn't justified mata hari. But overall it's good for a beginning.

[@mymusemamamoo]

@@scarletseidr tbh, literary department has always shown mata hari, either very naive or a femme fatal with no story or struggle. Mata hari has her own diary called "the diary of mata hari". Tho there's always a chance of manipulation in diaries of those ppl who were a cover scene for powerfuls, but still you can prefer it. ² paradise lost by Terrance d Williamson (series book) is also good. It gives more detail than 'the spy'.

[@scarletseidr]

@@mymusemamamoo thank you thank you! I will check them!

[@veerathesoulharvester1509]

Its Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) not East Indian

[@aiavani5887]

She did brilliant ....really respect how dedicated she is.

[@yayir.kinasih1830]

She learn pole dance and now belly dance... WOOOW after 8yrs debut she's still willing to learn. It's amazing

[@hachimitsumoo]

Im gonna cry. I still can't believe that she was a musical actress now. She is so amazing im so proud of her :')

[@jammycobra]

I couldn't help but smile the whole time! So amazed by Yong! She did fantastic!

[@soumyaaverma3444]

0:27 that move was just ✨ amazing ✨ , 0:32 She said Durga maa, 0:47 she said Shiv dev, 0:55 she said Guru dev, 3:29 again that ✨ Amazing ✨ move. The way she puts Indian Classical dance moves in her song *MATAHARI* is just very beautiful ❤️💕

[@asthakanojia1514]

it is very similar to our India goddess and some moves are also similar even some the sound too , it's good to see solar performing it .❤❤

[@mymusemamamoo]

Yes, She did the Natraj pose & mudras. She's playing the role of MATA Hari who used to say she offers herself to bhagwan Shiv during the dance.

[@honeybeemoo]

Woah.....I'm really at a loss for words. Solar's vocals were ethereal, and her dancing...well, her hard work shows, I can say that much. Her movements are fluid, but sharp and strong when needed. But her aura...she really isn't Solar while performing this. So proud of her ❤️ Of course, the poses taken from Indian classical dancing aren't perfectly executed, but I'll be more surprised if they were. Classical dancing takes *years* of single-minded dedication, determination, patience and practice, that can never be achieved by anyone in a couple of months

[@mymusemamamoo]

Exactly, the mudras are perfect for a person learning for just 2 months, because it actually takes ages. So, I don't have any unsettlements. Mata hari learned the dance from Malaysian culture & mixed it with her dances, maybe they've the similar culture as us. I mean bharatvarsh, was very vast & the southern Indian kings expanded their empire greatly towards Vietnam, Indonesia, and southern belt. We know, Shri Ram's is worshiped in all these countries so maybe Bhagwan Shiv as well(?) Hence the Natraj mudras...(?) What do you think. [Actually, I was worried after I read a cmnt yst, trying to blame solar for disrespecting our culture. They were saying she's belly dancing in front of a temple 😅 so I just wanted more opinions, you're the only Indian moo Ik:) ]

[@honeybeemoo]

@@mymusemamamoo According to Wikipedia, Mata Hari learned the dancing style during her stay at the eastern part of the Java island. She studied Indonesian culture, and her stage name appearantly comes from the local malay language. I won't guarantee the accuracy of the information because I haven't read any books or articles on her. Also, the South Indian 'Chola' kings actually raided some south-east Asian islands and conquered them with their powerful navies. As usual, they implemented their own religion and culture(aka Hinduism and south Indian Hindu culture) in the local population. This is how Ramayana, Mahabharata and other Indian puranas got introduced in those parts and spread to the surrounding regions as well. Over the centuries, these stories took on new forms with descriptions of Ramayana unique to these regions(these differ from the Ramayana we know by a bit). They even perform the stories of Ramayana with colourful costumes, singing and dancing, which is(/was until colonisation) extremely popular among them. The article I read about this topic was only about Ramayana and its diverse re-tellings in south-east Asian countries, so I don't know much about how Lord Shiva is seen there. But I guess it'd be pretty similar for almost all of our puranas. So that's where the cultural similarity comes from.They were basically made to accept this new culture, so as it often happens in history, they accepted it and then did their own thing with it. What is 'cmnt yst' btw? Well, that someone probably didn't know or missed the whole point that Solar is playing a character, so she's not exactly doing her own thing here, just portraying someone else

[@mymusemamamoo]

@@honeybeemoo oh, I'm I sorry I confused it. I checked she lived in Java & sumatra tho the name 'MATA HARI' is malay (for sun) (Cmnt yst = comment yesterday ☻️) Tysm, I just wanted a reassurance that ppl in India are not misunderstanding it. It worried me so much.

[@honeybeemoo]

@@mymusemamamoo Well, Indians who *aren't informed* about these topics will probably still misunderstand it, since this part of history is not taught in schools(I was lucky to come across that article). I'm glad I'm not one of them though

[@mymusemamamoo]

@@honeybeemoo yep! Same here. I'm also glad, I'm not them. OK, bye, see ya~

Mata hari is hindu artist she claimed herself as daughter of hindu temple dancer and she originally came from Netherlands..! This is for those who was confused! I love the way Solar give us Indian classical vibes.. As you can see behind her there's Nataraj symbol (Lord shiva) )It was a symbol of Indian culture and was also named the lord of dance!

[@agatahighstein]

DAMN!!!!! of course we knew she was going to serve vocals, and we knew that she has amazing stage presence, and we knew that she’s an amazing dancer, but I did not expect her to be that good at this specific style of dancing. She hasn’t really shown this style at all in Mamamoo choreography. This was fantastic! It looks like she really did study some belly dancing or some similar style of dance. Her isolation style is just fantastic. Amazing job Solar!

[@dikomamaperomamamoo758]

As expected from solar! she did amazing 👏

[@rashimahajan231]

It. Looks like she is doing Indian danceee😭😭😭😭✨✨✨

[@trinhvietanh9521]

dear everyone. If anyone read my comment, can we figure out a way to get Solar on broadway? She is beautiful, have an insanely good vocal, she act and dance so well. I’m an international new moomoo (just knew about mamamoo as well as kpop for about a month) and also a hardcore fan of broadway. This talent doesn’t appear on broadway is such a waste. And a broadway musical will get them a lot more international attention. (I new she is not fluent in English but I trust Solar will give her 200% effort, I’ve seen her perform some disney song and those are more than incredible)

solar did i so beautifully!! can someone tell me the concept of mata hari, is it indian-inspired musical theme? coz the hand gestures, outfits and the dance have the similar vibe to indian/arabic dances

[@Moomoo_YongyongYi]

You can watch a summary of Mata Hari at this link 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqaWdJVmo6mlbsk

[@honeybeemoo]

It's probably supposed to replicate the 'exotic dancing theme' popular back in the early 20th century in the west. As an Indian, from what I see in this performance, if this is a correct replication, this is an equivalent to using Indian classical music and dancing elements as aesthetics. Not to mention this has arabic/middle-eastern music and dancing styles mixed with it, instead of purely Indian classical music and dancing elements. There's probably some other types of dance elements as well, but I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to dancing. This concept(not the musical, the concept of this 'exotic theme') is appropriation, because classical music and dancing is akin to worshipping to the artists who devote their lives to it. The poses and hand movements ('mudra') all have special(at times, sacred) significance. The pose where Solar stands on one leg with the other lifted towards her bent hands(the pose starting at 3:28) is the 'Nataraja' pose of Lord Shiva, which is said to be done by him during/after doing the 'tandav nritya'(literally 'dance of destruction'), which brings about the destruction of the world('pralaya'). So, using these movements in a provocative way would be considered disrespectful. I can't provide much more details because I am not trained in classical dancing
